Showing opposition is good, if they find the community is so against this maybe they'll not grin and bear the nonsense of the payment processors. They could move to new payment processors, or use crypto to pay.
Why are you assuming they are grinning about it? They were hosting this all before in a very laissez fair approach. Unbelievable. It's not "bearing" the payment processors, it's existential. Either they do as they say or they go offline, how hard is this to understand?
The most the payment processors can do is refuse to work for them. All the free games will still be available and they'll have to find new payment processors.
Like who? You realize there's only a handful and they operate as a single entity, right?
